Chapter 52: The Mysterious Powerhouse [Please collect!]

  Duan Yifeng thought he was a goner, but just as he was about to hit the ground, his rapidly falling body suddenly slowed down and then came to a stop, gently landing on the ground.

  Duan Yifeng looked around, gave himself a slap in the face, and found that he really wasn't dead, then patted his chest to calm down.

  "You stinky little brat, with me around, how could you possibly die so easily?" The voice of Jingling came, apparently it was the one who had just used its own power.

  "Oh, so it was Master who made a move! Thank you, disciple..." Duan Yifeng hastily expressed his gratitude, not expecting Jie Ling to lend a hand.

  "You stinky brat, why don't you call me 'Shifu' anymore? Hmph, your attitude changes quickly!" Jingling was mocking Duan Yi Feng. This little guy indeed called him 'Shifu' when he needed something, but usually just called him 'Senior'.

  "You also know that I'm very weak now and don't have much energy to use, so I just used the power of two Mind-Calming Pills earlier, otherwise you would really be smashed to death." Jie Ling said again.

  "What! You... I'm going to faint, I knew you shouldn't have saved me, Senior! That's the Spirit-Calming Pill!" Duan Yifeng jumped up like a tiger whose tail had been stepped on, and checked the Rainbow Ring, only to find that two Spirit-Calming Pills were indeed missing, and he suddenly felt a sharp pain.

  "Earlier you were calling me Master, now I hear that after using two of your Mind-Calming Pills, you're addressing me as Senior instead? Are the pills really more important than your own life?" Jingling couldn't help but feel a bit angry too, in his opinion, the Mind-Calming Pills were just ordinary items.

  "Hmm, it's not as important as my life, but I think I won't be able to use more than two?" Duan Yifeng felt that something was off.

  "Alright, I'll be honest with you, kid. You're as agile as a monkey! I only used one of them, and the other one I secretly ate. I need to recover, not just my soul but also my physical body needs a huge amount of energy to recover itself. Now, I've recovered about one-thousandth of it." Jie Ling said with a hint of embarrassment, although he didn't think much of the Ding Shen Dan, it was still a good thing they had encountered at this point.

  "I knew it, how could you use only two?! It turns out you're just greedy!" Duan Yifeng said with a chuckle, and unexpectedly, Jie Ling looked embarrassed but took the opportunity to sneak another bite.

  "Gluttony! Hehe, do you know how many years I've lived? I've lived for countless years, and I don't even remember how many tens of billions of years it's been. How could I be gluttonous and steal food? I'm doing it to recover my strength too."

  "Living a long life doesn't mean you're not greedy!" Duan Yifeng found it amusing and thought to himself that this Jie Ling really liked to brag, saying things like "hundreds of millions of years" as if it was nothing, simply talking nonsense without any shame. This kind of talk might be able to deceive children, but Duan Yifeng didn't even bother to expose its lies.

  Duan Yifeng chatted with Jie Ling as he walked forward, and it seemed like a very deep canyon. The road ahead had many white bones, and it looked like the time was quite long too.

  Surrounded by white mist, Duan Yi Feng didn't feel anything out of the ordinary. But if he could fly up and look from mid-air, he would definitely be shocked beyond measure. The place where he was walking seemed to be a deep chasm created by a sword aura, what kind of master could achieve such a feat, splitting the entire ground open and separating it so deeply, stretching out for so long.

  Duan Yifeng walked very cautiously, afraid that something would suddenly pop out, but after walking for an hour without any danger, he found it even stranger. If something had appeared, he would have thought it normal, but now that nothing was appearing, he felt it abnormal instead.

  "There must be something strange, a place like this must have some kind of danger to it, and the more there's no explanation, the more likely it is that there'll be a big boss later on. So I need to be even more careful." Duan Yifeng felt stranger and stranger, walking slower and slower, looking left and right, then suddenly turning his head to look behind him.

  After messing around for half a day, Duan Yifeng found that nothing had appeared after all. It turned out that he was just scaring himself. The author must be a handsome and kind guy, but being too kind might not be a good thing either. Doesn't he know that scaring oneself is the easiest way to collapse?

  Duan Yifeng started daydreaming to distract himself, and found that he wasn't as tense as before. It seemed that Bai Qiufeng's trick of distracting oneself was quite effective after all.

  "I'm going there! It's too crazy! God, is this an illusion?" Duan Yifeng suddenly stopped and stared ahead, his face filled with excitement.

  "Hmph, I told you so! You little brat finally believes me now? Haha, don't you think the two Soul-Calming Pills are that impressive anymore?" Jie Ling Guai shouted.

  "Haha, too powerful! Haha." Duan Yifeng gazed at the scattered Ding Shen Dan in front of him, his heart bursting with joy. There were over a hundred pills here.

  "Huh, wasn't it said that every ten years there are only ninety-nine? How can there be over a hundred here? Outside, everyone is fighting and bleeding for just one or two scattered ones, to the point of ignoring their own kin. And yet, here there are over a hundred, piled up on the ground together... this is just too strange!" Duan Yifeng finally sensed that something was off.

  Duan Yifeng hesitated for a moment, then didn't care about that anymore. Whatever the reason was unimportant, first get everything packed and talk later.

  A pill of Concentration was stored in the Rainbow Ring, and Duan Yi Feng first instructed the Ring Spirit not to secretly eat it, as he was afraid that while he was busy storing it away, the Ring Spirit would also be busy storing it, but into its own belly, which would make him miserable.

  "Haha, I've finally finished installing it! The harvest is huge!" Duan Yifeng was so excited that he straightened up, but suddenly froze and quickly retreated a few steps, nervously staring ahead.

  "Haha, after all these years, someone has finally arrived! Oh heaven and earth! The heavens have finally opened their eyes!" A white-robed old man stood not far from Duan Yi Feng in mid-air, without a single ripple of energy on his body, as if he were an ordinary person.

  An ordinary person? Don't be ridiculous! Duan Yifeng was annoyed in his heart. After finally getting so many calming pills into his own pocket, a master appeared out of nowhere. Just by standing still in the air, it's clear that he's at least a Lingyun General, and yet Duan Yifeng couldn't see through his cultivation, which means he's even higher than a Lingyun General!

  Is it Lingyun Shuai or Lingyun Zhi Zun? Duan Yifeng thought about it more and more, feeling that he had played with fire, especially the old man's gaze at him was completely lecherous! Absolutely having ulterior motives, Duan Yifeng felt that he must have taken a fancy to the Ding Shen Dan he picked up earlier.

  The old man in white also stopped speaking, just smiling and staring at Duan Yifeng, as if he hadn't seen a man for a long time, making Duan Yifeng's heart feel hairy.

  "Duan Xiaozi, this guy is just a wisp of lingering residual soul, looking at him like that makes one feel somewhat unreal." Just as Duan Yifeng was at a loss for what to do, Jie Ling suddenly blurted out this sentence.

  "Remaining soul, soon-to-disperse remaining soul, or just a thread of remaining soul." Duan Yifeng's heart was delighted upon hearing this.

  Duan Yi Feng suddenly became very calm, gazing at the white-robed old man and bursting into laughter: "Haha, I originally thought that when the heavens dropped a big fortune, the author would prepare a big boss. I was even startled for a moment, but it turns out it's just a wisp of residual soul. You're already dead yet you still come out to scare people. Alas, I'll send you on your way out of this world."

  "Heilong Hu Tian Fist!" Duan Yifeng said, and then he brought out his killing move. He decided to let this wisp of residual soul dissipate, thinking that it was just a wisp of residual soul after all. With this one move, it would definitely be completely dissipated.

  A black dragon roared and rushed out, and the white-robed old man finally showed some emotion: "A mere mid-level Lingyun Master's peak, can actually launch such a powerful attack, impressive! This martial skill is absolutely top-notch, it seems that heaven has not abandoned me after all."

  "Hmph, know your place now? Almost game over and still there lamenting!" Duan Yifeng crossed his arms, looking very relaxed.

  The black dragon roared in, its momentum extremely shocking. Even Low-grade Lingyun didn't dare to easily receive this move.

  The next second, Duan Yifeng was stunned, and saw that the white-clothed old man raised one hand, his sleeve fluttering lightly, and the black dragon faded and dissipated.

  "My God! Is... is this the remnants of a soul that's about to dissipate?" Duan Yi Feng roared in frustration, his Black Dragon Shaking Heaven Fist, which he had put so much effort into, was actually received with such ease.
